Tuesday's briefing: England set for open-top bus parade as Carabao Cup kicks off
Sarina Wiegman led the calls for further investment in the women's game to ensure her adopted country remains a 'trailblazer' for the sport. England's celebrations continue on Tuesday with an open-top bus parade through central London. And the Carabao Cup returns as Barnet host Newport on Tuesday night in the newly-created preliminary round. The smiles of champions 😁🏆 — Lionesses (@Lionesses) July 28, 2025 The back-to-back European Championship winners were greeted by hundreds of fans at Southend Airport upon their arrival on Monday afternoon. Captain Leah Williamson was first to step off the plane, which was branded with the word 'home' on it, with the trophy alongside head coach Wiegman. History makers 🏴 — UK Prime Minister (@10DowningStreet) July 28, 2025 Crowds lined the street to cheer the Lionesses as they arrived at Downing Street just before 7pm for a special reception hosted by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and sports minister Stephanie Peacock. Number 10 was decorated for the occasion with St George's flags draped over the windows and bunting along the railings. After the England squad lined up for a picture outside Number 10 and took selfies inside, boss Wiegman addressed those in attendance. 'We need some more investment,' Wiegman insisted. 'We're not there yet. In England we're up there but England needs to stay the trailblazer, it needs to be the big example. The players first but also the FA, the clubs, the Government, the country, the fans – let's keep being the trailblazers.' Pep Guardiola revealed his plans for the future as a recent interview with GQ Spain was published. The Catalan has been at Manchester City since 2016 and ended speculation over his future last season when he signed a new contract to run for another two years. However, Guardiola told GQ: 'I know that after this stage with City I'm going to stop, that's for sure. 'It's decided, more than decided. I don't know how long I'll stop for, a year, two years, three years, five, 10, 15, I don't know. But I will leave after this spell with City because I need to stop and focus on myself.' Luis Diaz took another step towards a 75 million euro (£65m) move to Bayern Munich after he left Liverpool's training camp in Japan. A deal between the two clubs was struck on Sunday and a day later Diaz was given permission to head to Germany for a medical. Other transfers continue to be negotiated with Tottenham youngster Mikey Moore seemingly set for a season-long loan at Rangers, while Jan Bednarek ended his eight-year stay at Southampton after he agreed to join Porto.

Amorim is the right man for Man Utd, says Ugarte
July 29 (Reuters) - Finishing 15th in the Premier League was nowhere near good enough for Manchester United last season but the players still have faith in manager Ruben Amorim, midfielder Manuel Ugarte said. Amorim took charge of United in November last year but guided them to just seven wins in 27 league matches and their worst-ever finish in the Premier League. They also failed to qualify for the Champions League as they lost the Europa League final 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur. "We have to improve things," Ugarte told British media. "We are all very motivated, because we believe in the coach, we believe in what he wants and that is very important," added the Uruguayan, who also played under Amorim at Sporting. "Last year we made some changes, we changed our coach, we changed our formation. "You have to have responsibilities when you play for United. Sometimes the connections take time to get to know each other. I already know the league, the rivals, which is important." United will play two pre-season matches in the U.S., taking on Bournemouth in Chicago on Wednesday and facing Everton in Atlanta on Sunday, before returning home to face Fiorentina at Old Trafford on August 9. They begin the new Premier League season against Arsenal on August 17.
